      If ever I launched another brand, it would be called Ikigai.....

        Have you given much thought as to what this hypothetical brand would specialise in?

            @Giles top secret, or is there anything you'd be willing to share?

            I'm sure after all these years in the game, you've identified some unfilled niches in the market...

                    Probably a brand of fishing rods designed to look like common household items so they can be more easily hidden from wives.

                      New overlocker added to the collection, our local machine Guru Rob, giving me and @Lynne a run down of the machine.

                        Ohh baby the 5-thread double chain stitch overlock is on!
                        5-thread overlock combines a chain stitch with a finishing stitch over the edge, it is also a safety stitch.
                        I can’t wait to see the results!

                                          @Bailey at first I didn’t see @Graham in the second pic and wondered if he’d been accidentally packed up and sent to a retailer! Glad he’s still safe in Gosport.
